Created by The Exodus Road
From a global leader in the fight against trafficking.
Influenced comes from The Exodus Road, a global anti-trafficking organization. For 15+ years, our teams have worked in prevention, intervention, and survivor aftercare worldwide. This curriculum puts that frontline expertise into your hands, written for students and built on what keeps kids safe online.

Why This Matters
These dangers aren’t rare. They’re everywhere your students already are.
The risks kids face online have moved from the margins to the mainstream. The numbers are hard to look at, and harder to ignore.

The Network Contagion Research Institute calls financial sextortion the fastest-growing crime targeting children. Your ministry can lead the response.
Honest About Hard Things
We name what your students are actually facing.
Influenced speaks openly and age-appropriately about pornography and sexualized content, sexting, sextortion, and how online predators groom kids. Never sensationalized. Every session handles these topics with care and points students back to their worth, to hope, and to trusted adults who can help.
Silence doesn’t protect kids. Honest, faith-rooted conversation does. When a student knows what grooming looks like, what to do if an image gets out, and that they can come to you, the predator loses most of their power.
You decide what’s right for your group. See exactly what’s covered before you teach a single session.

Questions
What youth leaders ask us.
How do we access and play the sessions?
It’s all digital. As soon as you purchase, you can stream every module and play each session live with your group, straight from your device. Nothing to download or ship, and you can replay anytime.
How long is each session?
Each film runs 13–16 minutes. With discussion, plan on 30–45 minutes per session, or go as deep as your group wants.
What ages is it built for?
Middle and high school students. The tone and examples are written for teens, and you can adapt the discussion to your group.
Do I need training or prep?
No. The facilitator run-sheets walk you through every session, minute by minute. Press play and lead.
Is the content too intense for our group?
You decide. Preview the full facilitator guide first, and you’re free to skip or reorder sessions. The hard topics are handled with care and always point back to hope.
How do parents fit in?
Every purchase includes a ready-to-send parent letter so families know what’s covered and can decide what’s right for their teen.
